Waiting for Escape

Fellow Labourers-

I ask of you, hold out a little while longer. Waiting is not one of the easiest thing in the world, yet we are forced to wait. We wait at the bus stop, we wait on the elevator, we wait in line and we wait for our salary. I even had to sit and wait in church for my missing rib. But, when I saw her I must confess, I have some lovely ribs. I don't plan to lose anymore. Now I think about it I was waiting on her to escape with her. Though the folks who came to witness our coming together were near and dear, yet I did not want to spend forever with them.


Today we sit and wait groaning to be clothe with our heavenly garment. I know life can be sweet, but in the midst of this sweet life we sensed we need an escape. The Apostle Paul writing to the Corinthian brethren had this to say "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.2 Corinthians 5:1-4.

Pax Vobiscum
